Growing up online has both its positives and negatives. Now a days the Internet is such a vital thing for the functioning world. While watching this particular documentary I found that many people were appalled and incredibly surprised by certain things like addiction to the Internet and cyber-bullying. Clearly this documentary was compiled pretty recently, yet these things have been around for such a long time. I feel that being I have grown up online that I am not surprised that people have become addicted to the Internet or that cyber bullying has become so increasingly popular. For example, even here at Mari st College a website has been set up for students to anonymously bully and post negatively about other students. Furthermore, I even saw this when I was still in high school. It shocks me that so many adults are so shocked by this, because it has been around for such a long time.
Moving on there are so many different social networks that exist in today's cyber world that is hard not connect amongst one another on a regular basis. When out parents were young they communicated through penned letters and telephone calls where now we are communicating through electronic mail, text messages, and instant messages. Blackberry cellular phones offer BBMing (blackberry messages) which is like online communication for your telephone. Although all of these new innovative technoligies have enabled society to connect easier, I think there are some negative outcomes and results.
